Legion of Black Mesa

LOL well ill try to explain this as clearly as possible.  I go out to naku to pick up my first myr. (holy cow malk only 26mill?? you are like my jesus in a jewish sense of the word!) and a sight it was.  I jump in it and pick up a few drones that were cheaper in empire than in k25, supprising?, i think NOT.  As i fly back with no weapons, i choose the shorter more dangerous route, and guess what?  Along the way i am targeted twice by mega’s and then chased all the way to bfw, before our camp got em.  In k25 i create (what i believed to be) a suitible ratting device that would make me some money.  I come back a day later and get popped in my vexor, i come back in my pod (ty god) and i hop in the myr. to make that money i mentioned.  Right before i leave though, i am conviced to premium insure the ship (carnes i believe)  TY carnes i get out to a really nice ratting spot and i kill a bs that has a 1.2 mill bounty. sweet.  I go to the next belt to find 3 bs and 2 cruisers about 50k off, me (being stupid) rush them as much as i can, the closest i got was 45km before i was in 25% armor, at this point i had my drones in and was turning to warp….i SHOULD have warped long ago but it was being a butthead and would allow me to even though i was all set up to go, and JUST as i get into warp (kerplow) there goes the rolf-copter.  Sadness because in the end i didn’t even get past the 1’st bs’s shield, better yet i didnt even get half way….goes to show ya.  Now i understand that i should bookmark them and warp way away them come back at 0 and RAPE THEM.  But in the meantime, i created a super awesome 85% thermal and kinetic armor resist myr. with an effective hp. of 81k against the rats that i will be dueling.  This time, im sure to win O.O (also) kran. i probably need you to tell me how to attack the rats that are far off haha.

I’ve noticed that ECM is a huge thing in PvP now. And a fleet always needs a good ECM Pilot. Hell, we all learned that flying with VGL and CAPS. deltauk1 is probably the best ECM pilots i’ve ever flown with.  I can only hope that i’ll be as good as he is. One thing that he did show me was that ECM is to be feared. There’s nothing like a three man gang taking out a gang with double the numbers just because delta could sit back and jam most of the enemy.

As of right now, i can fly a Blackbird with T2 Jammers. I’m working on my targetting skills right now (Targetting V in just  under 4 days now). Next will be  maxing out my long range jamming skills (only to 2 or 3 right now). To be honest though, i’ll be saving the rig skills for last, I think the other stuff is more important. Jamming strength, range, and quantity take priority over rigging IMO.  The hard thing will be learning to fly an ECM ship properly. I’ve been thinking about how i’ll fly in a fleet. Small tactics i can use to surprise the enemy when they try to get the jump on us. I’ve also been thinking about all the bookmarks i’ll need to make as tacticals on my home turf (a task that i really don’t look forward to, but i know needs to be done).

So, if everything goes well, i’ll be in a falcon/rook in about a month and half. Wish me luck!
